What Greater Heights does
to a microwave.

The 1914 Houston Heights Fire Station was built as the town's city hall, jail and firehouse, and after annexation it served Houston as a fire station until 1995.

Since the 1990s buyers have renovated many of its early-1900s houses and torn down others for newer, larger ones.

Half the homes in ZIP code 77008 were built in 2002 or later, and 62 percent are detached houses.

Older housing stock

Restored kitchens often hide the microwave in a pantry or a cabinet to keep the period look, and a unit boxed in without the trim kit meant for it overheats and stops mid-cycle until it is given room to breathe.

Apartments and walk-ups

In a small apartment kitchen the microwave hood combination hangs low over the cooking surface to save counter space, and steam from every pot rises into its touchpad and fan, which wear sooner than they would in a bigger room.

Mixed housing

When a newer microwave hood combination replaces an older one, it is often hung on the old mounting holes and fed by the old duct, and a unit that rattles or vents poorly is traced to that fit rather than the fan.

When a microwave
cannot wait in Greater Heights.

In Greater Heights as anywhere, these five mean the microwave stays switched off until a technician has seen it: sparks or a flame inside, smoke behind the window, a burning smell, a breaker that drops, or a door that no longer seals.
